Fellow Family and Consumer Science Educators of Michigan, Greetings on this beautiful Spring day!! We are currently seeking nominations for the 2011 Family and Consumer Science Educators of Michigan Professional Awards Program honors. As we know, many of our FCSEM members put an incredible amount of time, energy and creativity into establishing and maintaining a quality program. Most are too busy and too humble to acknowledge their accomplishments. If you have someone or are someone who fits this criteria, identify and note these efforts with a nomination. This year we are excited to be able to announce that we will be honoring our Teacher of The Year with their 2011 Annual FCSEM conference in August at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth conference fee paid by Lake Trust Credit Union. To nominate someone, or yourself for the FCSEM Professional awards this year, simply e-mail me at the address below by June 1st, 2011. I will then mail them an application along with the criteria for the nomination process. Thanks so much and have an awesome Spring and Summer!! See you in August at our annual 2011 FCSEM Conference in Frankenmuth. If you have any questions please contact me at the address below; Wendy J. Smith FCSEM Awards Chairperson East Kentwood High School 6232 Kalamazoo s.e. Kentwood, Michigan 49508 (616) 698-6700 ext. 42264 Wendy.smith@kentwoodps.org
